Surplus FMCG buyers for the whole basket.
Fast-moving consumer goods are what we buy, full stop. Food, drink, toiletries, cleaning, pet care: if it belongs in a trolley, the desk can price it, collect it and pay for it inside the week. Forty years of category experience, one written offer.
- Every FMCG category
- 400+ trade buyers
- UK, Ireland & Europe
FMCG surplus needs an FMCG buyer.
Plenty of UK stock buyers will quote on anything: cars, containers, office chairs, your pallets of fabric softener. Breadth is their pitch. The cost of that breadth is shallow demand; a generalist resells FMCG into the same two or three contacts every time, and the offer shows it.
We run the other model. Every buyer on our list trades consumer goods, segmented by category and market, so a pallet of oral care goes to someone who knows oral care, and a mixed grocery load is priced line by line rather than as scrap-weight. Specialism is why the number on our offer letter is usually the best one on the table.
The categories we trade
The whole supermarket basket, food and non-food, branded or private label:
Food & grocery
Ambient, chilled and frozen: tins, jars, dry goods, ready meals, dairy. In date, short-dated or past best-before, priced line by line.
Drinks
Soft drinks, juice, water, energy, plus mixers and cordials with date codes documented. Pallets to full loads.
Health & beauty
Haircare, skincare, oral care, deodorants. Strong export demand and little date pressure make HABA loads quick to clear.
Household & cleaning
Laundry, surface care, dishwash, air care. Rebrands and pack changes generate constant clearance volume here.
Pet food & care
Dry, wet, treats and litter. A loyal value-channel audience keeps demand steady year round.
Ingredients & bulk dry goods
Flour, egg powder, oils, sugars and starches in sacks, tubs and drums, from production overruns and spec changes.
Selling surplus FMCG in three steps
One stock list in, one offer out, one collection. The process is identical whether the load is a single category or the contents of a warehouse.
Tell us what's on the racking.
Spreadsheet, email or WhatsApp: product, quantities, dates, location. Mixed-category lists welcome; that's normal here.
Category specialists price every line.
Not a blanket pence-per-pallet punt. Each category is set against its own buyer demand, then rolled into one written, no-obligation offer.
One collection, full paperwork.
We arrange haulage across the UK, Ireland and 16 European markets, handle customs where it travels, and pay on pickup.
Why brands clear FMCG through us
Brand owners care about two numbers: the price, and where the stock surfaces afterwards. We're built around both. Pricing comes from 400+ active trade buyers competing across categories and markets, not from one contact's best guess.
Resale is channel-controlled and, where required, NDA-backed. Surplus moves into discount retail, independent value stores and export markets that don't collide with your full-price listings, so the clearance never appears under your own customers' noses at half price.
- One offer for mixed, multi-category loads
- Brand protection: NDAs and channel control as standard
- Export reach across 16 European markets
- Full traceability and compliance paperwork on every movement
Who sells FMCG to the desk
Surplus appears at every link in the consumer-goods chain. We buy from all of them:
Brand owners & manufacturers
Over-production, pack changes, delisted SKUs and promotional volume that didn't sell through. Discretion as standard.
Importers & distributors
Overlanded containers, slow-moving agency lines, cancelled retail programmes. We price in any language on the label.
Grocery retail & discount
Range resets, store closures and depot consolidations cleared in one movement instead of fifty markdowns.
E-commerce & subscription
Returns-grade and surplus inventory from online sellers and box schemes, sealed and sellable but surplus to the model.
Asked about
this exact situation.
Straight answers to the questions this page's sellers actually send. Anything else, the desk replies same-day.
Do you buy non-food FMCG on its own?
Yes. Health and beauty, household and pet loads are bought outright with no food component needed. The same 24-hour written offer applies.
Can one offer cover a mixed warehouse?
That's the standard case. Each category is priced on its own demand, the total comes back as one number, and the whole estate moves in one coordinated collection.
How do you protect our brand during resale?
Channel control first: stock is matched to buyers whose market doesn't overlap yours. Where sensitivity is higher we add NDAs, delabelling or export-only routing. Agree the constraints before the deal, not after.
Which export markets do you cover?
Ireland plus 16 mainland European markets, with buyers in value retail and wholesale. Export often pays best on long-dated ambient and HABA lines.
We're rebranding; can you clear the old packaging?
Packaging change-overs are one of the most common loads we buy. The product is current, the artwork isn't, and the value channel genuinely doesn't mind.
What does the valuation depend on?
Category, brand strength, date position, condition, volume and where it's stored. Strong branded grocery in good date holds most of its wholesale value; loose mixed residue is priced honestly as residue.
